This Damocles Command Rhino won the Forgeworld Best of Show prize in the 2005 UK Golden Demon awards.
The radar dish moved around and as you can see in this shot, the inside included “real” lights (made from LEDs).
It was very well painted and made good use of the Forgeworld Imperial Fists doors. Some very nice weathering as well.

One of the highlights of GamesDay 2008 was the THQ Lifesize Rhino. I managed to get a few images of the beasty.
You can see the full gallery on my website.
Of course after GamesDay a video of the Rhino driving about was released.
It was a pity that we didn’t see it at GamesDay 2009.

In a previous post I talked about a game I had played and promised to get the pictures online soon. Well still have that to do, so in the meantime here is a photo of the battlefield.
The boards are large polystryene tiles (4′ x 1½’ or 120cm x 45cm) which have been covered in GW’s grass mat. I have four of these tiles, and GW’s mat covered all four. Generally though in a game I only use three as my table is not big enough for all four.
The hills are purchased and I got them from a company whose name I can’t recall, whilst the trees are K&M and the lichen is from a model railway shop. In the middle you can see my Looted Ork Rhino which I used as terrain in this game.
It was a typical game for me with my Orks versus Simon’s Imperial Guard, though different in another way as my force was very mechanised and his was very much infantry based with a Hellhound and a Medusa. Okay to call a Squiggoth mechanised is probably going a little too far, but I did have Wartrakks, Trukks, Killa Kanz, Dethkoptaz, a Gunwagon and a flying Ork Fighter-Bomma as well as the Squiggoth.

I have started work on an Ork Gunner for my Looted Rhino. I have used a resin Twin Big Shoota from Forge World. A plastic Ork body and an Imperial turret ring.
Here is how it is looking with the gunner. Not sure what I am going to do with the other hatch space.
I am quite pleased with how the model is looking, I still need to do a lot to the paint job, but conversion wise I like the result so far.
